Modelling Specialization as BLOOM semilattices
نویسندگان
چکیده
The capabilities of a data model to represent any conceptualization (expressiveness) are very important for faithful modelling. Focusing on the generalization/specialization dimension, unique features of the BLOOM model are presented: specialization criteria, four kinds of specialization, usage of specialization metaclasses, transitive specializations, combinations of specializations that automatically generate specialization semilattices. These features are exemplified through a complete example.

Functional Effects of Parasites on Food Web Properties during the Spring Diatom Bloom in Lake Pavin: A Linear Inverse Modeling Analysis
This study is the first assessment of the quantitative impact of parasitic chytrids on a planktonic food web. We used a carbon-based food web model of Lake Pavin (Massif Central, France) to investigate the effects of chytrids during the spring diatom bloom by developing models with and without chytrids. Linear inverse modelling procedures were employed to estimate undetermined flows in the lake...
متن کاملTrees as semilattices
We study semilattices whose diagrams are trees. First, we characterize them as semilattices whose convex subsemilattices form a convex geometry, or, equivalently, the closure induced by convex subsemilattices is antiexchange. Then we give lattice theoretic and two graph theoretic characterizations of atomistic semilattices with tree diagrams.
متن کاملCardinality and Structure of Semilattices of Ordered Compactifications
Cardinalities and lattice structures which are attainable by semilattices of ordered compactifications of completely regular ordered spaces are examined. Visliseni and Flachsmeyer have shown that every infinite cardinal is attainable as the cardinality of a semilattice of compactifications of a Tychonoff space. Among the finite cardinals, however, only the Bell numbers are attainable as cardina...
متن کاملOn Unique Factorization Semilattices
The class of unique factorization semilattices (UFSs) contains important examples of semilattices such as free semilattices and the semilattices of idempotents of free inverse monoids. Their structural properties allow an efficient study, among other things, of their principal ideals. A general construction of UFSs from arbitrary posets is presented and some categorical properties are derived. ...
متن کاملA Jump Inversion Theorem for the Semilattices of Sigma-degrees
We prove an analogue of the jump inversion theorem for the semilattices of Σ-degrees of structures. As a corollary, we get similar result for the semilattices of degrees of presentability of countable structures.
